The Historical Evidence Of The Plagues | The Exodus Decoded

The Exodus. The very word invokes an epic tale of Pharaohs and Israelites, plagues and miracles, the splitting of the sea, the drowning of an army, Moses and revelation. The story is at the very heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

After six years of research, working with archeologists, Egyptologists, geologists and theologians, Simcha Jacobovici came to the groundbreaking conclusion that the Exodus took place hundreds of years earlier than previously thought. With this new timetable in hand, Jacobovici and his colleagues re-examined long ignored archeological artifacts and uncovered the truth about the Exodus and the Egyptian dynasty that ruled at the time.

The producers teamed up with some of the world’s most accomplished special effects designers to create a unique digital, organic experience of the Exodus. Blending archeological findings with modern eye catching effects, Jacobovici built a virtual museum to showcase his discoveries.

The 12 Labours of Hercules Explained (Documentary)

The 12 Labours of Hercules/Heracles are some of the most impressive tales in Greek Mythology. The son of Zeus and a descendant of Perseus, Heracles was destined to be a great Hero. He was favoured by many gods of Olympus, including Athena, Apollo and Hermes. However, one Olympian, the goddess Hera, hated him before he was even born and strived to make his life as difficult as possible. Using her magic, she made Heracles kill his family, forcing him to visit the Oracle of Delphi to seek redemption. The Oracle informed him that he would have to carry out 12 Labours in penance, under the service of King Eurystheus of Mycenae.

His labours were the ultimate test of strength and skill. He would fight and kill savage beasts, from the Nemean Lion and Lernaean Hydra to the Stymphalian Birds and the three-headed giant Geryon. But his labours would also require him to travel to distant lands, to capture animals that King Eurystheus wanted to observe. From Artemis’ Ceryneian Hind and King Minos’ Cretan Bull (the father of the Minotaur) to the guardian of the Underworld itself, the three-headed dog Cerberus, who was sacred to Hades.

His strength would be pushed to the limit when he offered to hold up the sky for the Titan Atlas, on his journey to retrieve the Golden Apples of the Hesperides. And his wits would be tested when he was tasked with cleaning the filthy Augean Stables in a single day.

After his Labours, Heracles would continue his heroic journey, setting up the Olympic Games as well as joining Jason and the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece. However, although Heracles lived an amazing life full of adventure, he would ultimately suffer an agonising death. After causing the death of the centaurs Pholus and Chiron, he would make an enemy of the centaur Nessus. Nessus would eventually get his revenge by tricking Heracles’ wife, Deianira, into giving the hero a poisoned robe, bringing his eventful life to an abrupt and painful end.

Experts Studying Roman DNA Uncovered Details That Are Rewriting History

No matter what, history always reveals its secrets. Even thoroughly studied periods, such as Ancient Rome, have hidden details that take years to uncover. With modern DNA testing, though, experts realized some truths about the Eternal City’s bygone population. What we thought we knew about them has been upended by the genetic information they left behind.

15 Fattest Animals Ever Seen

The animal kingdom is getting a little chubby! These animals may have eaten a bit too many treats! Here are the fattest animals ever seen.

In the past, ichthyosaurs used a desolate area of the ocean as a nursery

Ichthyosaurs, a type of marine reptile that resembled whales and dolphins, are thought to have collected to give birth in an area of the ocean where there were no nearby predators.

Ichthyosaurs may have been travelling to specific breeding areas more than 200 million years ago

It's possible that the abundant collection of ichthyosaur fossils discovered in Nevada is made up of the remains of a breeding habitat that existed more than 200 million years ago. The enormous animals appear to have congregated in a tranquil area of the ocean where few predators would endanger their offspring.

The discovery suggests that the reptilian ancestors of modern marine mammals like whales engaged in the same types of mating behaviors.

Between approximately 250 million years ago in the Triassic Period and around 90 million years ago in the Cretaceous, ichthyosaurs, which superficially resembled modern whales and dolphins, lived in the oceans while dinosaurs roamed the land.

Palaeontologists under the direction of Charles Lewis Camp excavated the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park site where the Nevada ichthyosaurs were discovered between the 1950s and 1970s. The specimens were mostly neglected for several decades after his description of the animals was published posthumously in 1980, five years after his tragic death from pancreatic cancer.

These ichthyosaurs are members of the Shonisaurus popularis species. They existed some 215 million years ago, at the conclusion of the Triassic Period, and measured between 11 and 15 meters in length.

In his account, Camp hinted that there may have been a major stranding incident, similar to those that occasionally affect whales and dolphins in modern times. According to Neil Kelley at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, "He imagined that they were hunting around in the shallows and the tide had gone out, and they had accidentally been left behind."

Because they could have escaped even in shallow water, this explained why there were no smaller animals like fish among the fossils. Geological evidence, however, indicated that the fossils were formed in deep water, thus it didn't match.

The evidence has now undergone further review by Kelley and his coworkers. They searched for evidence of environmental disturbances that may have killed the ichthyosaurs, such as volcanic eruptions or low oxygen levels. "We could not find any direct evidence of any of that," he claims.

They did discover young ichthyosaurs, though. Paige dePolo, a team member at the University of Edinburgh in the UK, has spent years organizing the fossils, which were first scattered. DePolo had to look over every piece of rock that had been excavated because Camp's 1980 work just mentioned embryos; it did not depict or illustrate them. She claims that "the literal last block" is where she discovered the small ichthyosaurs.

There were numerous huge adult ichthyosaurs, at least three youngsters, or embryos, and hardly any other animals, according to the reanalysis. The research team hypothesizes that the ichthyosaurs chose an underdeveloped oceanic zone where there is little food since there would be fewer predators to endanger their offspring. According to dePolo, "The palaeontological evidence we have does not support that there are other vertebrates that might eat the young in this region."

According to Benjamin Kear of Uppsala University in Sweden, the fossil record is constantly subject to interpretation, therefore we can't be completely certain. Despite that, I believe it to be quite conceivable.

He claims that several lines of evidence support this. For instance, ichthyosaurs only had a small number of young at a time, suggesting parental care. Like other whales and dolphins, they might have lived in pods.

There are indications that other marine reptiles utilized these nesting sites. Long-necked plesiosaur fossils that were discovered by Kear and his colleagues in 2006 were from an inland seaway close to the South Pole. Numerous tiny, young animals may be found in the bones, all of which were dwelling in "a huge embayment" that would have acted as "a sheltered calving ground."

Why Are We The Only Humans Left?

In this video we ask why we are the only surviving branch on the human evolutionary tree. Just 50,000-100,000 years ago, Earth was home to three or four separate human species, including our most famous cousins: the Neanderthals. New research has shown that Neanderthals were not the brutish, unintelligent cavemen that cartoons make them out to be. They were creative, smart, social, and perhaps even had complex language. So why did they go extinct as soon as Homo sapiens moved into their territory? Does any trace of them live on today? Why don’t we have Neanderthal neighbors?
